Introducing Garmin Coach, where users have access to free training plans to help beginner to intermediate runners reach their 5K goal while adapting to suit their performance. Through Garmin Connect™, users can choose from three race goals before selecting one of three running coaches – Jeff Galloway, Greg McMillan and Amy Parkerson-Mitchell – to guide and motivate them. From there, step-by-step workouts can easily be synced to a compatible Garmin watch and will adapt based on the user’s performance in the plan.

Garmin Coach training plans support entry-level runners hoping to complete their first 5K to intermediate runners looking to improve their pace, up to an 8-minute mile. The process to get started is simple:

Choose from one of three goals – run a 5K, run/walk a 5K, or run a 5K with a pace goal.
